In London the Green Party came
third, what an impressive result.
In Reading we also came third, which is astounding. Winning our third Cllr in Park Ward; well done Jamie.
Not quite that good in Wokingham but we stood more candidates than Labour, and Marjory had a good result in Shinfield South coming second.
Particularly considering the spending from the bigger parties. I say this as someone who had loads of glossy expensive leaflets from the big parties, one a week from the Tories and LD. The Greens get almost all their money from members.
It will be a while before party funding for this election is published, but I had a look at the figures from the 2010 General Election from the
Electoral Comission website.
Tory had 53% of the money, Labour 25%, LD 15%, Ukip 2%, Green Party were on 1%. So we were on a budget 1:15th of the LD.
Lets see how seruously the media treat the Greens now.
